Instructor: Jennifer Stone Workshop to be held in the Community Room of Bagley Public Library Time of Class: 10:00 am - 3:30 pm Cost: $100 Workshop participants will be provided with a supply list. Participants should bring their own lunch. This watercolor workshop will be geared for those that are intimidated by that "white piece of paper", and who aren't into sketching!

She will demonstrate color sanding with watercolor pencils to enhance areas and add texture. A quick lesson on negative painting will be introduced at the beginning of the workshop to either refresh or teach you the basics. It's all fun! Website: www.jenniferstoneartwork.com |
Bringing a Scene to Life - Plein Air Painting
Dates: June 15-17, 2020
Instructor: Joshua Cunningham
Time: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM
with an hour break for lunch
Cost: $75
Meet at Bagley Elementary School Community Education Room (Door #11)
Materials List will be provided by April 15, 2020
Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape. The practices goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists. These paintings capture the light and its changing qualities. This type of art allows the artist the freedom to paint in the "open air" and for some it is out of their comfort zone. When one paints from observation, whether on-site or indoors, you encounter several different light sources, including direct sunlight, overcast sky, and evening light. These types of light all have distinctive qualities that you have to understand in order to paint them convincingly. Painting outside is challenging due to constantly changing atmospheric conditions. Although plein air paintings are prized for their spontaneity and freshness, participants will learn to be organized and deliberate in their painting. Joshua shares his knowledge and experience with students and helps them develop a foundation in the fundamentals of painting outdoors.
Joshua will continually outline his processes and demonstrate his techniques throughout the workshop by showing each new task and style he wants the artists to paint. Participants will have time to work on each new task and style. The students will be able to finish one or more pieces.
